👋🏻 Hi Travel Massive! I’m Elly, the creator of Odys-say.
I built Odys-say because I wanted ⭐️a tool to help me experience the places I visited more deeply, find inspiration, and discover what they meant to me.⭐️
For me, that begins with hearing about the people whose lives are woven into a place.
What they hoped for, the conflicts they faced, and the choices they made. Understanding their lives opens up a way to connect with the place, and to think about my own life through it.
That’s the experience I wanted to create with Odys-say.
It’s a travel docent (Korean for "guide") for your smartphone, available on iOS and Android.
🔔 Walk near a featured place, and you’ll receive a notification. Tap it, put in your earbuds, and listen to its story while you’re right there.
Each place takes you through three things:
1️⃣ Hear the drama behind the place.
Meet the people whose ambitions, struggles and choices shaped it.
2️⃣ Learn the ideas inside the story.
Understand the beliefs, history and ways of thinking behind what happened.
3️⃣ Keep an insight that’s only yours.
The story ends with a reflection connected to what’s on your mind, whether that’s career and direction, relationships or your sense of self.
My hope is that these encounters with other people’s lives help you find something meaningful in the places you visit, something you can carry into your own life.
👉🏻 You can try your first story free: odyssay.app/store
I’d love to hear how this feels when you try it, especially whether the reflection helps you connect with the place in a more personal way.
This is a really interesting approach to travel storytelling. Connecting a place with the human stories, history and culture behind it can completely change how travelers experience a destination. Would love to see how this develops!
I’ve been spending more time looking at Ninh Binh (a province in northern Vietnam) from a tour operator’s perspective, and I’m curious what other travel professionals think.
Trang An, Tam Coc, Mua Cave… the scenery is incredible. But with visitor numbers growing, I wonder:
Are we promoting Ninh Binh in the right way, or are we creating another “must-see” destination where everyone follows the same route, takes the same photos, and leaves?
For me, the more interesting Ninh Binh is not just:
🚣 Trang An boat ride
📸 Mua Cave viewpoint
🏯 Hoa Lu Ancient Capital
It’s the quieter side, cycling through villages, meeting local families, rice fields, traditional food, and simply slowing down.
I’d love to hear from other travel professionals:
What do you think Ninh Binh needs more of? Better visitor management, more authentic experiences, or simply better storytelling?
And if you’ve been there recently, what’s one experience in Ninh Binh that you think international travellers are still missing?
Let’s compare notes. 👇
I think better storytelling can actually be part of visitor management. When a destination is promoted through the same three or four “must-see” spots, visitors naturally concentrate in those places. But if the story expands to local food, villages, traditions, slower experiences and lesser-known areas, tourism can spread more naturally. The goal shouldn’t necessarily be to attract fewer people, but to give people more reasons to explore beyond the same route.
Hi everyone! 👋 I’m Laura, founder of ELYV8 – a platform connecting travelers with vetted personal trainers offering unique fitness experiences.
After more than three years as a digital nomad, I was constantly looking for ways to stay active without sacrificing the travel experience. Finding high-quality fitness sessions in a new city wasn’t always easy. I wanted more than just another gym – I wanted local experiences, great coaches, and a way to meet like-minded people.
So I built ELYV8.
With ELYV8, travelers can:
🏃 Discover unique fitness experiences in new destinations
🥊 Book everything from beach boxing and bootcamps to yoga in the park, strength training, and more
⭐ Train with vetted fitness professionals
🌍 Stay consistent with their fitness routine while exploring the world
🤝 Meet & connect with locals and fellow travelers through movement
We’re currently live in Barcelona, Valencia, and Lisbon, with more cities coming soon.
We believe your fitness shouldn’t pause when you travel. Our mission is to make high-quality fitness experiences accessible around the world, helping travelers stay active, connected, and inspired through movement.

Building software isn't easy. But when you build something that solves your own problem, that's where the real story lives.
If you've ever planned a major holiday, you know the moment excitement turns into mild chaos. For me it hits about three weeks before departure — one spreadsheet with multiple tabs, plus emails from Booking.com, Viator, Get Your Guide, Expedia, and my travel agent, each holding a different piece of the puzzle. One day I had four overseas trips pencilled in and a travel inbox in full revolt as I tried to file each booking in its own folder.
I'm new to travelling and new to the travel sector, but not to software. I spent 35 years writing it and ran a boutique ERP provider handling inventory, HR, and P&L. What did I know about travel planning? Nothing. But I know how software should work and how to look after the people who use it.
So I ditched the spreadsheet and went looking. I tried the popular products — TripIt, Wanderlog — and some lesser-known ones. None let me plan the way I actually think.
Case in point. My next trip is "Europe November 2026," destinations Budapest, Vienna, Prague. Every product wanted a single destination first — declare "Budapest 2026," then somehow bolt the other cities on. That's backwards.
Hotels. I'm not a travel agent — I don't count nights, I count days, arrival and departure included. Three nights to you is four days to me.
Flights. You can't fly direct out of Australia; there's always a stopover and a plane change, so I needed multiple airports and cities. And I like to map it — but "Charleston" exists in Africa, the USA, and Europe. So I use IATA codes, and it maps perfectly every time.
Cruises. Try one on a spreadsheet: the sailing itself, embarkation and disembarkation dates, ports of call in between, tours, sea days, formal nights, what to wear.
So I built a simple tool to solve my own problem. I call it The Travel Planner — a web app my customers subscribe to. Here's what it does today, with more on the way:
- Cost tracking — per item, in groups, or a mix, set up your way
- DIR (Document to Itinerary Reader) — turns a document straight into your itinerary
- Document wallet — tickets, bookings, and everything else in one place
- Hotel amenity symbols — see at a glance if breakfast or laundry is included
- Transportation — car rental, train, bus, ferry, and taxi together
- Full currency conversion — buy in one currency, see it in yours
- Tours — day, bus, private, and free time, including stopovers
- Cruises — departure and arrival ports plus ports of call
- Document management — store, view, and renew passports, visas, insurance, and vaccinations
- Calendar view — zoom in and out of any day or event
- AI packing list — personalised to destination, activities, and season
- Trip cost report — total, per-person, and what's still owing
The Travel Planner isn't trying to replace spontaneous exploration or be an all-singing, all-dancing agency in your pocket. It's a quiet companion built to take the friction out of planning. It's still evolving, and every trip teaches me a little more. If trip logistics have ever overwhelmed you, I hope it brings some ease to your next adventure.

Interesting concept, especially having bookings and itinerary in one place. For me, the real test would be how simple it stays when planning a complex multi-city trip. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Hi Ihsan, thanks for your comments. The .
Travel Planner was built for multiple complex wishestrips which is why it caters for so many facets of trips.
I want to clarify one very important point from another post you made about my product.
The Travel Planner is not a booking and itinerary manager. It is itinerary manager designed to stand alone or to be used in conjunction with a travel planner
I'd like to invite you to sign up for the free trial and perhaps review my product.
Thank you and best wishes
Larry
The Travel Planner
Hi Larry,
Thank you for the clarification — I appreciate it. I understand the distinction now and agree that it’s important to describe The Travel Planner accurately.
I’d be happy to sign up for the free trial and explore the product properly. It would be interesting to see how it works in practice, especially for managing more complex trips.
Thanks for the invitation, and I’ll be glad to share my thoughts after I’ve had a chance to use it.
Best wishes,
Ihsan
When planning a road trip, finding the route and distance is easy. What I always found more difficult was understanding the real cost of the journey, especially when travelling across different countries where fuel prices can change significantly.
That is why I started building FuelWide.
The idea is simple: you enter where you are travelling from and where you are going, select your fuel type and add your vehicle's fuel consumption. FuelWide then calculates the driving route and estimates:
- the driving distance
- the amount of fuel required
- the estimated fuel cost
- the cost of the complete journey
I wanted it to be more useful than a basic distance multiplied by fuel price calculator.
FuelWide can work with petrol, diesel and electric vehicles, show fuel or charging stops along the route, and compare fuel prices between countries so travellers can understand where it may make more sense to refuel.
For example, if you are driving through several countries in Europe, the difference in fuel prices can have a noticeable impact on the total cost of the trip. Instead of checking different websites manually, the goal is to bring this information together as part of the route-planning process.
The bigger idea behind FuelWide is to make fuel price data useful for real travel decisions.
I don't want it to be just another website showing the current price per litre or gallon. I want people to be able to understand what those prices actually mean for their trip, whether that is a weekend drive, a summer holiday, a camper trip or a longer road trip across several countries.
I am also exploring how this could be useful for travel bloggers, camper and motorhome communities, tourism websites and itinerary creators. For example, a travel guide could show a route and allow readers to instantly estimate how much it would cost them to drive it with their own vehicle.
🚗 Take a look and try it out at FuelWide.com
FuelWide is still growing and I would really appreciate feedback from people working in travel.
Where in the trip-planning journey do you think a tool like this would be most useful?
Would fuel cost alone be enough, or would things like tolls, charging costs, border fees and suggested refuelling locations also be useful?
Really useful idea for road trips. Does FuelWide also account for tolls and different fuel prices along the route, especially when crossing countries?
Thanks, Ihsan! Yes, FuelWide accounts for different fuel prices in each country along the route, using published national averages, and
helps identify where refuelling could save money.
Toll coverage is partial: it includes motorway passes (vignettes) for six European countries, including Bulgaria, Austria and Slovenia, but
distance-based tolls aren’t included yet. Those gaps are flagged in the estimate.
Thanks for clarifying, Teo. The country-by-country fuel pricing is especially useful for longer European road trips. Good to know the toll limitations are clearly flagged as well.
Similar to last year, I've pulled together a list of the global travel technology conferences and events for 2027:
• All travel - aviation, hospitality, destinations, tourism, corporate, and loyalty
• All with a technology angle - vendors, speakers or exhibitors
• All international - people will travel for the event
• All live and in-person
So far I only have dates for about 60 of the 130 events listed.
👉 If you know about any I'm missing, please let me know! DM me on Trave Massive or on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/marklen/ with your additions.
Thanks to everyone who helped with last year's list. Just having the event names from 2026 helped a lot.
PS: The 2026 list (this year) is still being updated:
www.travelmassive.com/posts/i-created-a-list-of-global-travel-tech-conferences-in-2026-241194796
wow thanks!
so usefull! thanks a lot!!
Thank you for building the list.
Have you previously attended any? If yes, which ones?
I have worked mostly in aviation reservations & distribution for the last 30 years, so I've been to a few: World Aviation Festival, T2RL, FTE / APEX, ATPS/Loyalty MegaEvent, IATA (various), ITB Berlin, WTM, BTS/TTS, Skift (remote), TBEX (ages ago), TTI, Travolution, CAPA, Phocuswright.
For generations, Ghana has been more than a destination for the African Diaspora. It represents ancestry, identity, heritage, connection and belonging.
The launch of the "Year of Return in 2019", followed by "Beyond the Return", repositioned Ghana’s diaspora tourism strategy from simply inviting people to visit our heritage sites to building a deeper, long-term relationship with the global African Diaspora.
From the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and across the Caribbean, diaspora travellers continue to come to Ghana to reconnect with their roots, experience our culture, explore our heritage and create new memories.
Our castles and forts, festivals and cultural experiences, from Emancipation and PANAFEST to Chale Wote, AfroFuture and December in GH, are helping position Ghana as an increasingly important hub for diaspora tourism.
Ghana transformed a painful history of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade into an opportunity for healing, reconnection, cultural discovery and economic engagement. The response was extraordinary. The Cape Coast Castle, Elmina Castle and other heritage sites became powerful spaces where visitors could confront history, understand their ancestry and establish a deeper relationship with Africa.
International attention turned towards Ghana. Diaspora travellers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, creatives, academics, families and cultural leaders arrived in significant numbers.
But Ghana recognised that one year could not sustain an entire tourism strategy, that led to "Beyond the Return" a broader, longer-term framework designed to build on the momentum of the Year of Return and deepen the relationship between Ghana and the global African Diaspora.
Ghana’s international tourism market has demonstrated strong recovery since the pandemic, with the United States continuing to be Ghana’s leading international source market.
But the opportunity goes beyond visitor numbers.
Diaspora tourism can create more stories, stronger connections, repeat visits, investment, cultural exchange and lasting relationships between Ghana and the global African Diaspora.
There are deep historical, cultural and economic connections between Ghana 🇬🇭 and the United States 🇺🇸.
The opportunity therefore extends beyond attracting visitors. It is about developing lifelong relationships with the Diaspora:
A first time visitor can become a repeat visitor.
A repeat visitor can become an investor.
An investor can become an ambassador.
And an ambassador can inspire hundreds of others to discover Ghana.
This is how destination marketing becomes destination development. We expect more of our brothers and sisters from the Diaspora to come home.
More stories. More connections. More investment. More cultural exchange.
Have you made it home yet? And if so, what brought you back?
Any suggestions or recommendation for a SIMPLE, easy to use app/software to keep track of what tours I am doing, for whom, for how long, when? I am looking for a schedule planner with an overview and the ability to go into more details. Is there one specifically designed for Freelance Tour guides?
Hi there Christel, I'm Larry from The Travel Planner (www.thetravelplanner.com.au). I have an excellent product that I can easily add freelance functionality to it. I don't charge for this work as I feel that it's helping the travel community. I only ask that you take out a yearly ( not per month!) subscription for $36 AUD /year. Let me know if you're interested. Hello@thetravelplanner.com.au.
Best regards
L
For a freelance guide, I’d probably keep it simple at first. Google Calendar combined with a basic spreadsheet can work surprisingly well — dates and reminders in the calendar, and client, tour, payment and notes in the sheet. It also avoids committing to another paid platform until you know exactly which features you really need.
Thank you Ihsan, as much as I don't want to give Google any more of my data, it definitely does look like this is the best option so far . I am definitely not entertaining payment options. :)
Totally understand 😄 For something this simple, I’d probably stick with the free option too. Glad it helped!
You meet a cool person at a thing, swap instagrams, and then watch each other's stories for six years without ever actually meeting up 🫣. That specific loneliness is why I built you coming.
Hey everyone, I'm Nicole 👋 a solo founder, nomad for the winter, and software engineer based in London. I've moved around a fair bit over the years: Berlin, NYC, San Francisco, London. Winters in Thailand. Every move meant building up a new friend group and community from scratch.
I found meeting people easy. Turning those people into actual friends, kinda brutal and exhausting. As a busy person who goes to a lot of events, the logistics burned through my executive function: so many group chats, an obscene amount of notifications, too much work to parse through and find the actual hangouts, so I muted them instead.
The truth is WhatsApp and the rest are designed around chatting. Hanging out is an afterthought. And on platforms like Meetup you have no control over who shows up or whether you'll vibe with them. I needed a way to turn the people I met here and there into friends, and keep track of my existing ones, without getting lost in the group chat.
It's about giving serendipity more chances to happen: meeting in real life, without messaging 10 group chats or feeling like you're gate-crashing. For travelers, you can announce where you are and friends there get an alert. Friends far away can offer to connect you to their friends in that city, with a personalized message.
We're designed around IRL first, chat later. No algorithm, so you actually see your friends, and no ragebait. Give it a try if you feel my pain, and if there are features you'd love to see, I'm all ears. I want to build this with the community.
📲 Try it out at youcomingapp.com and please share your feedback!
So cool. I loved the hang out feature, is very useful.
Thank you!!
Good idea, but i've done something similar before and it is very difficult to scale!
I hope you have luck with yours!
Great work. Very useful.
Thank you!
Love the design.
Interestingly, I saw Snapchat launched their Snapchat Plans today. It might be worth looking at that and seeing how it looks, what you can take from it etc. This is a highly competitive space right now especially with the likes of Nomadstable and Tripbff (even if they're specifically travel focused).
Few pieces of feedback for you on the app front, hope some, or all of it can help you.
I'd consider a guest mode and/or offering a social single sign on. This will help massively to reduce any sign up friction and drop off.
I'm sure I don't have to remind you that being in the social networking category for apps, you're up against it, but you can make changes and influence your App Store Optimisation. I would start with looking at changing how your name appears on the store. Users are unlikely to find you directly or you show up naturally based on the current.
Good luck!
Thanks for your feedback!
Yes for sure it's a bit competitive. Tbh I'm not trying to compete with NomadTable and co, as they are only for travel and for meeting strangers. Mine is also for people who are stationary in one city and for your greater social network. So I'm kinda aiming for where you go after you meet cool people from things like NomadTable, bars, clubs, whatever to move them from acquaintances to friends.
I'm planning to add another sign in mode for sure, probably passkey, just wanted something to get it off the ground!
Changing the name on the app store also on my list as "plan w/ friends" is kinda eh, just need to sit down and brainstorm and yes maybe some more app photos.
Thanks again!
No more endless whatsapp groups that end in no plans and 7 sentence reasons why someone can't go that day.
omg right, and a wall of "no I can't make it"'s in a giant group is so discouraging! Pleaaaase yes or silence!
I’ve thought that this app was needed for years. I’m so happy it finally exists!
Ahhh thank you so much! Any other features you find would be useful please feel free to give a shout!
Love it! Good luck, Nicole!
Thank you!
Hi everyone, I'm Alex Veka, based in Mexico City.
I founded Vibe Adventures in 2018 with a mission to make authentic, sustainable multi-day tours easy to discover. We've since served over 9,000 travelers (you can read my founder's story here: blog.vibeadventures.com/founders-story/).
After years of helping travelers book guided trips, we kept running into the same problem:
✈️ They'd find a great tour at the right price, but the flights for those exact dates were expensive, inconvenient, or simply didn't work. Suddenly, the "great deal" wasn't so great anymore.
🔎 The problem is that multi-day tours and flights are usually searched separately.
So we rebuilt our platform to solve it 👉 www.vibeadventures.com
Vibe Adventures now matches multi-day tours from different operators with compatible real-time flights, so travelers can compare the total trip price and find combinations that fit their dates, interests, and budget. We recently integrated with TourRadar too, which means travelers can pair 6,000+ instantly bookable small-group tours across 110+ countries with live flights in a single checkout.
Here's a quick 2-minute walkthrough: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb66XL21VIE
⚙️ What looks simple on the front end is surprisingly complex behind the scenes: fixed tour departures, different starting and ending cities, constantly changing flight inventory, and thousands of possible combinations.
The platform is now live, and we're starting to put it in front of more travelers and travel-industry professionals.
💬 We'd especially value feedback from the Travel Massive community:
- Do you see tours + flights as a meaningful gap in online travel today?
- Where do you think the biggest friction still exists?
- And if you're a tour operator or agent: would combined tour+flight distribution be useful to you, or more of a headache?
Would love to hear how people across travel tech, tour operations, airlines, OTAs, and travel agencies see this problem.
WAOW, i think there are some similar agencies that devolped something similar, but i think yours is making many API connections in real time to develop a full package with logic and common sense.
Congrats!! I will check it in deep!
BTW would you be open to connect with DiverDoo.com for scuba diving destinations, including snorkel/discovery packages?
Let's talk!!
Thanks, Nacho! I sent you a message
Definitely a real gap. Travelers care about the total trip cost and how everything fits together, not tours and flights separately. Combining both in one search makes a lot of sense.
Just spent a few minutes browsing around the site and I'm really impressed. Moving through multi-day itineraries is usually a total headache, but the checkout flow and filters here feel super smooth and intuitive. The places to visit are so unique, many tours in places I would love to travel someday!
Really interesting approach. I think combining the tour and flight search makes a lot of sense, especially for multi-day trips where the flight dates and times can make or break the whole plan.
I also like the focus on showing the total trip price rather than making travelers piece everything together themselves. It definitely removes some of the friction from planning, and the integration with so many tours makes the concept even more useful.
I think there’s definitely an interesting gap here. Flights and multi-day tours are usually planned separately, even though they’re really parts of the same trip.
IMO, connecting the two could make the whole planning process much easier.
HERE'S THE NEXT 5 UPCOMING EVENTS:
Sport, wellness and travel are converging.
Major sporting events are driving destination visits. Scottish football fans at the world cup made Scotland even more desirable to visitors.
At the same time, wellness breaks and active holidays are booming. AI and tech are shaping how people plan, book and experience all of it.
At our September Traveltech Meetup, we'll explore where the opportunities are:
• How tech is changing sports travel, from ticketing and fan experience to travel planning and destination discovery.
• What's driving the growth of wellness tourism, and that works with AI?
• How we can make the most of major sporting events, beyond the event itself?
• Where the innovation opportunities sit as these sectors converge.
We'll hear from:
• Swellbase
• BBSpa
• Tethered
• Sports Tech Scotland / Motion Lab Ventures
Join us for an evening of pizza and networking with people working across Traveltech, tourism, sport and wellness!
